The full classification is: risk group = 1, note = "Animal classification RG: 1 - Security sensitive biological agent: No - Terrestrial animal pathogen under Canadian Food Inspection Agency authority: No - Containment level: Containment Level 1". — The risk group for Swiss Confederation has been imported on 2024-02-01. The full classification is: risk group = 1. — The risk group for Germany has been imported on 2026-08-13. The full classification is: risk group = 1, note = "+, n, t2". — If in doubt, use the risk group given in the regulations for your country and, if these are not available, use the risk group given in the catalogue of the culture collection from which you have obtained or intend to obtain the strain.
    • 🎓 Name mentioned 255 times in PubMed until 2026-06-11.
    • 🙆 This name is on the List of Recommended Names for bacteria of medical importance (LoRN) as the name to be applied to this species. The name is on LoRN because of the recorded risk group of other species in the genus.
    • 🧍 Pseudomonas oleovorans is isolated from oil-water emulsions used as lubricants and cooling agents in the cutting and grinding of metals. Apparently the organism lives on some normal constituent of the cutting compound, probably the naphthenic acids, which act as emulsifying agents. Consequently, the name oleovorans may not be appropriate. Publication: Palleroni NJ. Genus I. Pseudomonas Migula 1894, 237 AL (Nom. Cons., Opin. 5 of the Jud. Comm. 1952, 121).
